Many Canadian Korean War veterans believed they never got the recognition given to those who had fought in the world wars.
Canada responded, sending ships and later an armed force of three battalions of infantry plus support units. An airbase was established in Japan to shuttle supplies from North America to Japan and on to South Korea.
But Kapyong was an exception. On April 22 to 25, 1951, Canada and Australian forces were guarding the Kapyong River Valley, which was a direct route to Seoul. The Australians were on the east side while a single company of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry was on top of Hill 677 on the west side, less than three kilometres away. The Chinese launched a massive assault on the Australians and forced them to withdraw. On the night of April 24, the Chinese attacked the Canadians.
